A. B. FOLGER ELECTED PRES
IDENT OF CLASS OF 1912
REMARKABLE FRESHMAN CLASS
Dr. Lawson reports that the results
of the physical examination of the
fresmen show that they are the best
developed class physically that has
ever entered the University, at least
since Dr. Lawson was Physical Direc
tor, which is for the past six years.
Dr. Lawson said the class was by far
in better physical condition than any
he had ever seen. He said that fully
95 per cent of the members of the class
were men strong men in every sense
of the word. One reason for this won
derful development is the advanced
average age of the class, which is a
good deal over nineteen years. This
is a substantial increase over last year
and may be doubtless accounted for,
at least in part, by the advanced en
trance requirment of the Uniuersity.
Dr. Lawson remarked that the schol
arly attainments of the class ought to
be high, according to the axiom of the
sound mind and the sound body, if the
mental condition of the class might be
judged at all from the physical. There
is one freshman on the hill with a
lung capacity registering 380. Dr.
Venable evoked great applause in
chapel by declaring that a man with
a wind capacity like that ought to use
it in the service of the University.
Date of Junior Week To Be Changed
If Agreeable With the
Faculty
One of the smoothest class elections
this year was pulled off Thursday
night when the Junior class elected to
office the men who should guide the
fortunes of 1912 during the coming
year. The meeting was harmonious
throughout and a wholesome unani
mous goodwill was shown toward all
who were elected.
The meeting was called to order by
retiring president F. P. Barker, who
in a few well-chosen words, told of the
work of the class during the past year,
ang gracefully turned over the admin
istration to new hands.
Mr. C.'B. Ruffin presented the ques
of the Yackety Yack to the class and
asked that the matter be taken up at
once. After some discussion, the class
voted that the finance committee be
instructed to collect unpaid assess'
ments and that the class be assessed
for the balance.
The election of officers was then de
clared in order and many speeches
were maee, varying in length from Cli-
nard's simple statement that he "had a
manin mind" which man, however wa
not in college, to the longer oratorical
effort t Johnston when he nominated
Armstrong. The following- men we
selected:
President, A. B. Folger.
Vice-President, John Lockhart.
Sec. and Treas. Fred Drane.
Historian, J. D. Philips.
Captain Football Team, Ben Cook.
Manager Football Team Claude
Teague.
A committee composed of Pittman,
Graham, and Burgess was appointed
to look into the matter of class pins.
The president appointed Doub, Wins
ton, and Teague on the new finance
committee.
Mr. F. P. Barker brought up the
question of Junior Week and acquaint
ed the class with the fact that the
baseball team would be away at the
time of Junior festivities. It was im
possible for the manager to arrange
other dates, consequently there was
a conflict. A motion was passed that
the question of the date be taken up
with the faculty and that a committee
be appointed for that purpose.
All the business being transacted,
the president declared the meeting ad
journed. With songs and yells for its
new leader and for 1912, the crowd
disbanded, conscious that a new mile
post in class history had been" passed,
and that but one more remained.

the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion will be held in Gerrard Hall Sun
day afternoon ut 3:30 o'clock. Rev.
Melton Clark, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of Greensboro, N. C,
will make the address of the occasion.
Mr. Clark is a profound Bible student
and enjoys the reputation of being a
distinguished speaker.
The faculty and every student of the
University are cordially invited to
hear his address.
Y. M. C. A. BEGINS WORK
The opening devotional meeting of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion for the current year was held in
the Association meeting room Tuesday
night. A large and enthusiastic body
of the students who are interested in
the Y. M. C. A. and its work was pre
sent. .
Dr. Venable made the initial address
a talk thoughtful and earnest, and full
of hearty encouragement in the work
of the present year. He said that the
new men should ask themselves why
they are here, what they are here for,
and when the question had been an
swered to consider their opportunities
and make the most of them. The Y.
M. C. A., met, with his hearty approv
al.' He said that a student should
think of the reasons why he should
oin the Y. M. C. A., and of how he
might help to make it a potent factor
For the moral uplift of the University.
Mr. E. E. Baruett, our beloved ex-sec
retary was present for the last time be-
bre leaving for his foreign mission.
n a short talk he expressed his pleas
ure at being the Association's repre
sentative and his appreciation of the
support that is so gladly accorded him
He prayed for the success of our work
and invited our prayers for him and
his work.
Mr! lostner made an interesting
talk at the Thursday night meeting.
His theme was symmetrical develop
ment. He said the man who overde
veloped the physical side is an athlete
or a savage, the man who over devel
ops the moral side is an enthusiastic
or a fanatic; the man who overdevel
ops the intellectual side is an oddity
or a monster. The true way is uni
form development.
The regular devotional meetings
are held on Tuesday and Thursday
night of each week. Some member
of the faculty or some visitor is secured
to speak at the Tuesday night meet
ings which are about thirty minutes
long. The Thursday night meetings
are ten minutes shorter and are con
ducted by students. A cordial invita
tion is given to all to attend.
, COMMITTEES APPOINTED AND
PLANS MADE FOR THE YEAR
A New Play Is To Be Selected and
the College Actors Will Have
a Chance To Compete .
The Dramatic Club held its first
meeting of the year Wednesday night,
for the purpose af bringing the mem
bers together and outlining the work
for the coming session. Prospects are
bright for a successful year. Profes
sor George M. McKie will be the Di
rector of the club this year. A com
mittee was appointed by President
Henry Smith to draw up a constitution
and by-laws for the club, organizing it
upon a more substantial basis than it
has formerly rested on. A committee
was also appoined to confer with Pro
fessor McKie in regard to the selecting
of a new play. There had been some
talk of rejuvenating the play given
last commencement, "London Assur
ance", and taking it out upon a trip
it will be recalled what a success this
play proved at the performances last
spring. It was decided, however, that
it would be better to begin work as
soon as possible on an entirely new
production. The Dramactic Club was
most successful last year, being recog
nized as an integral part of college
life. Altogether, over thirty men tried
for parts in the last play. It is hoped
that a still greater number will present
themselves as candidates for. member
ship in the Club this fall.
REGARDING USE OF TENNIS COURT
Tennis Courts Are For Use of Members of
the Tennis Association Only
The afternoon is divided into two
periods for play. '
The first period extends from din
ner time until 4:00 p. m.
The second period from 4 p. m. until
dark.
The first member to appear on the
courts after dinner has control of that
court until 4 p. m., provided he stays
on the court or in watching-distance
of that court. In other words that
member cannot hang his net and then
eave the court to dress or attend la
boratory, etc, and thus suspend play
ing on that court.
One member can reserve and hold a
court for expected partners for a rea
sonable length of time.
One member can reserve and hold a
court and then (in case he expects no
one)invite other members to use his
court with him. '
A game of singles' cannot be play
ed if other members wish to double.
Reservations for the second start
ing, at 4 p. m., are made thus:
By a member writing his name and
the date on the blank Reservation
Card (found tacked on the post) and
filing it on the post of the court he
desires.
The first member to file his Reser
vation Card is entitled to the use of
that court for that period.
But, if the member is not in the
vicinity of the court by 4 p. m., his
reservation is forfeited to the next
member in waiting.
Reservations for the second period
can be filed on the post only on the
